CARINGTON WILSON, JR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 543, dated December 29, 183 7.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GARINGTON ,WILsoN, J12, of the city and State of New York, have invented a new ad useful Improvement. in Cooking-Stoves, and that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1, is a perspective view of the stove, the plan of which may be either a square, an oblong rectangle with a projecting front, or of an elliptical form with a projecting front, as represented in the drawings, which latter figure I prefer as being most compact and convenient. Fig. 2, represents a direct view with the top plate of the stove removed, so as to show the arrangement of the fines, etc.

The same letters refer to similar parts in both the drawings.

A, is the fire chamber, B the doors'thereof, C, the floor of the oven, which is closed by a large door on each side, one of which is seen at D; E, E, represent the boilers at the back corners of the stove; the openings in the plate, when the boilers are removed, being furnished with covers in the usual way as also with rings, for adjusting them to boilers of different sizes. F, F, represent the diagonal plates, which rest on the oven floor and with the side plates of the stove form the flues, seen at G, G; H, is a sliding valve or cover with a handle S by which either of the flues, or both, maybe opened at pleasure; I, represents a hlnge valve which works between two short upright plates, (4, a, under the smoke funnel K, by which the direction of the heat and smoke,

in its passage from the flues to the funnel can be changed, so as to cause it to pass through the remote front corners b, b, of the stove. I sometimes also effect this object, by dispensing with the valve I, and extending the upright plates a, a, quite to the back plate of the stove, making the smoke funnel either in the back plate of the stove or near the remote margin of the top plate by which arrangement the heat and smoke is caused to circulate under every portion of the top plate, which latter may likewise be pierced with additional openings for boilers,

to those above described.
